Sir, as always, you've caused a sensation."
Back at the luxurious Villa, Jarvis, the attentive butler, immediately offered a comforting compliment.
Tony Stark was so pleased that he grinned.
"As expected, isn't it?"
Tony Stark shrugged indifferently.
"Ever since you announced you were Iron Man…"
"It's Destroyer!"
"That's right, it's Destroyer. What I mean is, ever since you announced you were the Iron Man the public speaks of, Stark Group's stock has been rapidly increasing. You saved the Group, sir!"
"As always! And to think those guys even wanted to kick me out before!"
The Playboy couldn't help but sneer.
Then he suddenly remembered something, and an expectant look immediately appeared on his face.
He eagerly pressed, "Has the diary been updated?"
Tony Stark couldn't wait to see Zhou Cheng's face after being proven wrong!
"It was updated at the press conference, sir."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner!"
Tony Stark complained to Jarvis, then immediately took out the diary.
A quick glance confirmed that the diary had indeed been updated.
"What the hell? Can someone tell me what the hell this is?"
"Shouldn't it be 'I am Iron Man'? Why did it become 'I am Destroyer'?"
"What the hell is Destroyer?!"
"It's confirmed, this Universe must not be the 199999 Universe, right?"
"So, which Universe is this?"
"Shi Da Ke is not Iron Man but Destroyer, simply unheard of!"
Even though it was through a diary, and he couldn't see Zhou Cheng's specific expression, only some corresponding text, through the descriptions between the lines, Tony Stark could clearly feel how bewildered and lost Zhou Cheng on the other end was.
Haha!
Driven crazy by me, Tony, right!
The Playboy couldn't be more pleased, feeling that his mood hadn't been this good in months.
He watched as the diary's Master acted like he knew everything, pontificating and commenting on everything from a high and mighty tone.
Arbitrarily judging his Tony Stark's life, arbitrarily "predicting" his Tony's future.
Although the related spoilers were indeed important information, admittedly, that feeling was truly annoying.
This wave truly allowed the Playboy to let out a huge sigh of relief.
"I really want to see Zhou Cheng's expression in person."
"I imagine it would be quite spectacular."
Tony Stark couldn't help but start fantasizing.
"Well, there are so many Marvel parallel Universes, I can't possibly know all of them, can I?"
"Even if there are some Universes where Shi Da Ke is not Iron Man, it doesn't seem like anything strange."
"As I recall, wasn't there a Universe where Stark was rescued by the Leopard in Afghanistan instead of being kidnapped by the Ten Rings Gang?"
"In that Universe, even though Shi Da Ke eventually still created the Iron Man Armor, he didn't become Iron Man."
The smile on Tony Stark's lips slowly disappeared, and his expression began to turn serious again.
That diary's Master, Zhou Cheng, seems to know a lot about other Universes!
Many other Universes besides his original Universe!
From the various clues in the diary, although the Playboy didn't know which Universe Zhou Cheng came from, it was clearly not the 199999 Universe that was mentioned multiple times.
Because Zhou Cheng initially thought this Universe was the 199999 Universe.
So now?
Zhou Cheng also learned about another Universe where Stark was not Iron Man.
And clearly, that Universe is a separate Universe from the 199999 Universe and Zhou Cheng's original Universe!
Looking at the tone in the diary, besides these two Universes, Zhou Cheng seems to know a lot about Marvel's many parallel Universes!
So~
No matter how Zhou Cheng achieved this, he is most likely someone who can observe and understand the Multiverse!
What the hell.
The Playboy was a little depressed; isn't the gap a bit too big?
Even a genius like him, to this day, can't even prove the existence of the Multiverse!
Let alone casually talking about how this Universe is or how that Universe is, like Zhou Cheng.
"But honestly, a Shi Da Ke who isn't Iron Man feels completely soulless."
"Although Destroyer sounds more imposing than Iron Man, it doesn't fit Shi Da Ke's demeanor at all."
"Just imagine, during the Endgame War, before Shi Da Ke made the Snap, he says, 'I am Destroyer'—how out of place would that scene be?!"
"The iconic scene would be completely ruined, wouldn't it?!"
Endgame War?
Tony Stark's attention was immediately drawn to this term.
Tony Stark, of course, couldn't analyze anything from this term that suddenly appeared without any prior context.
Or rather, the only thing he could analyze was the term "Endgame War" itself.
"'Endgame' War? That means this is the final battle?"
"It seems that in the future, I will be involved in a long-lasting war with someone or some force."
"And this battle is the final battle!"
Tony Stark's expression became somewhat solemn as he analyzed this.
Since this is the final battle, it means this war has a conclusive outcome.
Either his enemy failed, or he, Tony, failed.
Whichever side failed, it would be a complete and utter failure, with no chance of a comeback.
But the diary did not reveal any clues as to who won or lost in this final outcome.
Tony Stark couldn't guess.
"First the New York Battle, and now an Endgame War?"
"It seems the future is truly restless!"
Black Widow couldn't help but exclaim.
The diary had already explicitly mentioned multiple times that shortly after Tony Stark announced he became Iron Man, the World would enter the era of superheroes.
The diary didn't describe much about that superhero era.
But it was undoubtedly a very dangerous era, filled with various super-powered individuals.
The diary even used the phrase "demons dancing wildly" to describe it.
The New York Battle, previously revealed in the diary, was a "super war" involving various superheroes, even gods.
So what about the Endgame War?
It was undoubtedly a "super war" similar to the New York Battle, because Tony Stark, a superhero, participated in it!
If it were an ordinary war, Tony Stark would not be involved.
Besides that, there was another, more crucial clue: "Snap."
This term had also been mentioned in the diary before.
Although it was only mentioned in passing, there was no doubt that the "Snap" possessed the miraculous power to bring the dead back to life!
With a superhero like Tony Stark participating and the appearance of a miraculous power like the "Snap," there was almost no doubt about the nature of the Endgame War.
But there was one thing.
Was the Snap that could bring the dead back to life truly just a normal Snap made with one's fingers?
Just the gentle touch and movement of two fingers could produce such incredible power?
Black Widow was still amazed by this.
Furthermore, Black Widow never expected that the "Snap" would be made by Tony Stark.
So~
Was it because the Endgame War was too brutal, and too many people died, that Tony Stark used the "Snap" to revive everyone?
What kind of war was this, for crying out loud!
"Not only that, Marvel already has other Destroyers!"
"Asgard's ultimate weapon, needless to say, is one of the most terrifying killing machines in the Universe."
"It will also descend with Thor in the future, casually destroying a small town."
"Nick Fury decided to use the Tesseract to research super weapons precisely because he witnessed the horror of this Destroyer."
Asgard?
Isn't that the legendary God Realm, Thor's homeland?
So Asgard also has a Destroyer?
And it's Asgard's ultimate weapon, the most terrifying killing machine in the Universe?
Awesome!
The Playboy couldn't help but start showing off again.
Look, this is his Tony's vision, this is his Tony's level!
His Iron Man Armor shares the same name as the most powerful killing weapon in the God Realm!
And there's no doubt that not only in name, his Tony's Iron Man Armor must be as powerful as that killing machine from the God Realm.
This is his Tony!
Tony Stark couldn't be more proud.
And didn't the diary also say that the Destroyer would descend to Earth with Thor in the future?
The Playboy really wanted his Destroyer to clash with the Asgard Destroyer to see which Destroyer was more powerful!
Just thinking about it was exciting!
As for why the Destroyer would descend to Earth with Thor, and why it destroyed a small town, Tony Stark couldn't analyze any definite content due to the lack of necessary related information.
But one thing was clear: the future superhero era seemed truly dangerous and chaotic.
The Playboy sighed softly, not thinking much more about it.
His attention was quickly drawn to a word: Tesseract.
This was the first time Tony Stark had heard this term, and he had no idea what it was.
But it was clearly no ordinary object.
Otherwise, why would Fury use it to research super weapons?
"Jarvis, search for the Tesseract."
After a brief thought, Tony Stark immediately gave Jarvis this command.
"Sir, this is an extraordinary item."
Even an artificial intelligence like Jarvis sighed.
"You know S.H.I.E.L.D.'s predecessor was the Strategic Scientific Reserve."
"And the Strategic Scientific Reserve was formed to counter HYDRA's high-tech armed forces."
"HYDRA's high-tech armed forces were a super armed force built based on research into the Tesseract."
"I couldn't find much information about the Tesseract, but according to the existing data, the Tesseract is a product of an alien civilization, containing a mysterious power."
A product of an alien civilization?
Tony Stark's brows furrowed slightly; this thing was truly not simple.
However, the fact that something from an alien civilization appeared on Earth as early as the World War II era showed that the diary's records were also correct.
Not only in the future, but even in the past, alien races had visited Earth!
So this was the true face of this World?
So the World was actually like this!
"Tesseract!"
Black Widow's brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.
Compared to Tony Stark, as a high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, she naturally knew more about this mysterious object.
She not only knew that the Tesseract was an alien object, but also that it possessed incredible power.
HYDRA's Red Skull wanted to use this object to achieve his goal of World domination, but was ultimately stopped in time by Captain America.
Later, the Tesseract and Captain America sank into the sea together. Afterward, Howard even personally led a search and rescue team to retrieve them.
However, they couldn't find Captain America, but instead found the Tesseract.
Since then, the Tesseract has been kept by S.H.I.E.L.D.
And Black Widow was not surprised by the diary's mention of her Director researching secret weapons through the Tesseract.
That was indeed her Director's style.
And Black Widow also agreed with this action.
With so many extraordinary threats in the future superhero era, humans needed some weapons to fight back, didn't they?
The only question was, had the super weapon been successfully developed?
The diary didn't say!
"And then there's the Guardians of the Galaxy's humble brother, Drax, who considers himself the second-to-last in team intelligence and no one dares to claim first! Isn't he also a Destroyer?"
"Not only is he a Destroyer, but the Guardians of the Galaxy also teamed up with the Avengers."
"On Titan, Iron Man met the Destroyer, and even fought alongside him."
"Now this is good, two Destroyers meeting, that scene will be interesting."
"Given their personalities, they probably won't just start fighting, will they?"
"Guardians of the Galaxy?"
"Guardians of the Milky Way Galaxy?"
"They can't really protect the Milky Way Galaxy, can they?"
Tony Stark couldn't help but shake his head, even a hint of sarcasm appearing on his face.
Guardians of the Galaxy, they really dared to use any nickname, weren't they afraid of biting off more than they could chew?
The Playboy really wanted to see how powerful and amazing this group of guys was to dare to use a title like "Guardians of the Galaxy."
You know, that's the Milky Way Galaxy!
Not just one Planet.
The entire Milky Way Galaxy has countless Planets; can they protect all of them?
What a joke.
"Sir, it seems we've found someone even more humble and low-key than you."
Jarvis also offered a timely retort.
"Indeed."
"In terms of being humble and low-key, I really haven't done enough."
Tony Stark expressed his deep agreement with this.
